“Ridgecrest is in an ideal location, with easy access to the Sounder train and major highways, which provides for short commutes to area employers and downtown Seattle, Bellevue and Tacoma,” said Ryan Kemp, President of KB Home’s Seattle division. “As with other KB Home communities, Ridgecrest offers home shoppers the opportunity to purchase a new, personalized KB home at a price that fits their needs.”

KB Home stands out from other homebuilders as the company gives homebuyers exceptional choice and control. KB Home starts by offering a wide variety of homes at an affordable price. From there, the builder gives buyers the ability to personalize their homes from homesites and floor plans to design features. All homes built meet or surpass ENERGY STAR® certification standards, meaning the homes have substantially lower monthly utility costs when compared to typical used homes. The KB Home team works hand in hand with homeowners every step of the way so they have a real partner in the process.

Ridgecrest is conveniently located just minutes to Highway 167 and Interstate 5, providing an easy commute to employment centers in Bellevue, Tacoma and downtown Seattle as well as access to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The community's six floor plans offer up to five bedrooms and three baths, and range in size from approximately 1,550 to 2,750 square feet. These new homes feature desirable design characteristics like gourmet kitchens overlooking expansive great rooms and master bedroom suites with walk-in closets. Residents can enjoy outdoor recreation at nearby Lake Meridian and Clark Lake Park and a variety of activities at Arbor Heights 360 Park, which is within walking distance of the community. Shopping and dining are also close at Kent Station and the nearby accesso ShoWare® Center offers sporting events and concerts. Pricing begins in the $490,000s.
